The author discusses the post-colonial in African women's thought. This article goes deeper into some of the discourses on what African women are doing and have done, and the way such discourses situate African women's movements in specific locations in the global divide. Miguda uses a post-colonial reading of African women's movements to examine some claims and assumptions of western feminism as a discourse in the post-colonial world, how it assembles and deploys African women's movements within the larger paradigm of western discourse and African women's challenges to some of these claims that seek to decentre the dominance of western concepts, ideas and claims in understanding women's struggle in Africa.
